First Ride

The farrier was late last week. We already had the horses caught. I told J he might as well go ahead and ride while we were waiting.

I have ridden Brother a hand full of times this year but this was J's first time on since last fall.

I think he was pleasantly surprised at how well Brother did. He acted like he was ready to go to a show and win western pleasure. One little bobble about being suborn about loping once but other than that it was 30 minutes of pleasure. J had to ask a couple of times, "are you sure he is trotting?"

Now that he has his shoes on maybe J can work out some more times to ride.

And for her second trim, Draper was an angel again. She acted better than some of the big horses.
